We're proud to announce that the inaugural Destination: Dev class was successfully funded on Kickstarter and wrapped up as a resounding success this summer right here in Medellín! We'd like to give a big thank you to everyone who supported us. You can check out more about our Kickstarter here, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for updates about upcoming programs!

Our Destinations

Medellín

We chose Medellín as the original Destination: Dev location for a reason. This city has made an incredible metamorphosis from the violence of the 80s and 90s and has transformed into one of the most vibrant, up-and-coming destinations in South America. With beautiful scenery, perfect weather, and some of the friendliest people in the world, Medellín serves as an ideal introduction to digital nomad lifestyle.

Thailand

Starting in 2018, Destination: Dev will be going mobile - visiting 3 different locations in Thailand during our 10-week program. Our students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Thai culture in Chiang Mai, Bangkok, and the southern islands. Come and join us to experience all of the sites, smells, tastes, and incredible experiences Thailand has to offer as we explore the cities, the mountains, and the beaches.
